An old guy asked me, quite nonchalantly, if i wud empty his chemical toilet
That experience will go with me to my grave
Gynaecologist for the over 50's - ha ha ha !!!
I'm so funny 
Sorry about that, ladies - just fooling 
I wouldn't date a Gynaecologist
I couldn't date a urologist,
"Is the pasta tasty? And ... i've noticed you haven't "been" for the last four hours"
LOL
I would dislike anything that's outdoors in winter 
Either building work in winter or scrubbing a huge kitchen in a hotel that looked like it hadn't been cleaned all year!
Being an au pair in Spain. Long days. Crap pay. Incredibly spoilt kids 
Article in magazine described sewer workers tasks
Urghh!! It sounded dreadful - scrapping foot deep lumps of congealed fat from the side of sewer walls and unblocking anything - yuk!!!
As a naive youngster and fresh outta school, I worked for a coupla years in Local Government. Dreadful!
Telemarketing!
I tried it once when I was younger.. for a double glazing firm.. I did 4 phonecalls & walked out.
I have friends that do telesales & they earn a fortune doing it.. but its not for me.
Working for the Prescription Pricing Authority................ hated it. 6 years of my life spent tapping in numbers, cartwheeled out of that place when I left.
Ohhh retail, I just cannot do retail. People shopping seem to think they are bordering on royalty and therefore you must be da poo on da shoe! I worked in boots, as a supervisor for about 3 weeks once when i was at college. I phoned in sick one day when auntie Margaret sadly passed away (again) and never went back.
They sent me a letter about a month later telling me I was sacked. No shit Sherlock!!! 
My two weeks as a knife throwers assistant.
There was a woman on Deal or No Deal the other day who runs a colonic irrigation therapy treatment from her conservatory ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I was thinking ...................eeeeeeeeeeeeeugh - what do yo do with all the residue?
Worst job I ever had was working for an insurance company.
It was beyond dull, repetitive and I soon realised I'd made a mistake leaving the personnel department (HR) at the bank in the City.
But the thing that really tipped me over the edge was the boss. She was the oddest woman I've ever seen; very long false nails (that kept falling off), a variety of badly mis-matched hair pieces (that kept falling off), gluey gungy false eyelashes (that kept falling off) and the most dreadful halitosis. To finish off this delightful ensemble off she used to sport a fragrance known as Eau de Armpit.
I then jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire by taking a job in M&S. Gypsie's right - never work in retail

Excellent idea..!
Night in here - my pit awaits xx
Well I heard on the grapevine that the bingo ball machine *cough cough* was a sight to behold in that establishment 
I have thought of another job that will make for a good tale.
I once worked as a magicians assistant, another awful job. This guy was the retired financial director of the NHS no less !! And in his night time life became a magician *waves hands mysteriously across eyes* I initially got approached by his mate (a doctor) who wore a lovely big Aladdin type hat in his routine, I liked him because of the hat but somehow got poached by this other magician *hand across eyes thing again".
I used to dance with another girl called rebekkah at the time and it was so awful we used to fight over who had to help him out when he called upon one of us.
One memorable time we 'performed' at an old peoples home. It was after their xmas meal and half of them were asleep in their chairs before we even started. Then mr magician himself *eyes/hands* picked a doddery old bloke from the front row to do a numbers (adding up type) trick on, but the old boy had short tearm memory loss and it went something like this
Him:" what was the number you picked"
Old boy: "what number"
Him "the number you picked
Old boy " was it 2"
Him "no"
Old boy "78 "
Him "no"
and so on for a long time....
Then he put swords through my head. And just incase you were in any doubt they dont put the swords actually through your head they slide two leavers on top so that wooden door type things shut round your face. Anyway he forgot to shut them And i was trying to shout as quietly as i could "IAN YOU HAVENT SHUT THE DOORS" as metal swords were being thrust past my face. He remebered about half way through and shut them. Afterwards he said " im sorry it was just the adrenalin, i totally forgot" . I looked around at the room at the old people who were now all asleep being pushed quietly out of the room and thought ...adrenalin???
awwww it was awful, really really bad (but funny bad, not boots the chemist bad). I managed to palm rebekkah off on him mostly after that.

No wonder Supes didn't want to talk about it
Working in a chip shop when I was a teenager. On my feet all day, a constant stream of people, and I stunk of chipfat when I finished...
I would hate to have one of those jobs where people keep trying to sell you stuff in the street, or get you to sign up for stuff.
